Sega is competing with Nintendo's mini NES by revealing two new retro consoles
Nintendo and Sega are releasing a mini, pre-loaded with games version of its Classic NES, Sega's Mega Drive system (known as Genesis in the U.S.) is hitting the market once again in honor of Sonic the Hedgehog's 25th anniversary, according to Uproxx.
One of the most significant differences between AtGames’ mini Genesis and Nintendo’s mini NES is that the Genesis actually plays original Genesis cartridges. If you have any old Sega games lying around, you can slot them in and start playing. The Sega console also comes with two wireless controllers, but supports classic Genesis controllers as well (if you want to go really retro).
Sega also bests Nintendo in the number of pre-loaded games: 80 to 30. While you'll probably spend the bulk of your time on the five Sonic games on the system. Both the mini Genesis and the portable Genesis will be available in October for around $65. They might not be as polished as the NES Classic Edition, but if you prefer quantity over quality, they’re worth checking out.
